$9x^2(4x^2-3x+5)$

To factor out the problem we need to figure out the factor of $35,-27, and 45$ .

$9$ is our magic number, we also need to factor out $x$ to do this we get the smallest amount of $x$ that is available which is $x^2$ .

So, our factor is $9x^2$ .

$9x^2(4x^2-3x+5)$ is the answer. To check this you can distribute it out and you will arrive to the original problem.
